Chapter 146: Battle of Wits and Courage Battle of Tongguan (4)
When the night was approaching the third watch, the north wind blew, blowing through the horses, tents, flagpoles, guns, etc., clanging, like the golden sound of the victorious army. Zhang Xiu and other three generals led 800 people who dared to die, ready to go, murderous, and only waited for the third watch to arrive, and then attacked Zhao Xu's camp.
Zhao Xu came in later generations, and he was used to it, but he was on the periphery of the camp. An eight-foot-deep trench was filled with water, and precautions such as thistles were wrapped around the side, and if it were ordinary, it would be very difficult to pass, and if the sentinels were alarmed, it would be difficult to escape.
When Zhang Xiu sneaked to the periphery of Zhao Xu's camp, he saw that the defense of Zhao Xu's camp was sparse, and he couldn't help but be frightened, worried that he would be deceived, and wanted to retreat, but then he saw the precautions set up on the periphery of the camp, and suddenly realized, thinking: I see, hehe! Zhao Xu, do you think these can stump me? At that moment, the soldier dismounted, tied the spear with a long rope and threw himself on the trench, and the soldier in front was responsible for nailing the thistle away. The spear stand was then used as a flying bridge for everyone to pass through.
When it is. It was dark, the north wind was tight, and the dust was blowing, which only muffled the sound of the hypothetical flybridge and the horses. In a short time, Zhang Xiu's third general and 800 death squads crossed the trench. I saw that the lamp hanging high in the gate was already a little dim, swaying in the wind, as if it was about to be extinguished. The already dim light, coupled with the wind and sand, makes it impossible for the human eye to see even a hundred steps away. Zhang Xiu waited until the edge of the village, pulled out the antlers, and ran to the Chinese army, but saw the lights and candles in the big tent of the Chinese army, and dozens of guards around were all majestic, arranged very closely, surrounded like an iron bucket, but saw Zhao Xu drinking tea in the center and sitting and reading the military book.
Zhang Xiu and the others couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and secretly thought: Hehe! Zhao Xu, don't think that you can sit back and relax, although there are these guards, it will be difficult to hurt your life, but as long as you disrupt your barracks, this is not a shame.
"Kill!"
Zhang Xiu clenched the spear, jumped on the horse with a spear, put the tiger head drill golden gun in his hand, and rushed forward.
Wu Sandao, Wu Hao, and eight hundred soldiers who followed closely behind him also shouted: "Kill!" "Exhale and drink. Followed closely behind Zhang Xiu and rushed up.
Eight hundred and three people who dared to die, plus eight hundred and three Xiliang war horses, galloped into the camp like an iron fist. The angry horse gallops, like the wind galloping. In a blink of an eye, he rushed into more than 60 steps outside the camp of Zhao Xu's Chinese army, and saw that the Chinese army was surrounded by cars and ambushes, and the four sides could not clash.
"Kill! Kill Zhao Xu!! ”
Seeing that the guards around Zhao Xu saw Zhang Xiu and others rushing over, they were not panicked, and suddenly a gong sounded, and the surrounding armies shouted, like the sky collapsing, and the mountains and rivers overturned. A row of elite soldiers rushed out from behind the chariot battle, holding bows and arrows, holding guns and knives, and methodically, surrounded Zhang Xiu, more than 800 people.
Zhang Xiu was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, there is fraud!" Come on. "Drag the spear now, turn the horse and retreat.
However, when you come in, how can you get out so easily? On the two wings of the gate, two teams of soldiers in white helmets and bright armor with crossbows and spears in their hands were extremely majestic, and the horses sat down in a team of three, all connected by iron chains. Zhang Xiu and the others don't know each other, but if the Huns see this army, they will all change color, yes, it is Zhao Xu's proud "Haolong Xuanjia Army!" ”
I saw the Chinese military camp tent, the guards separated, and a general came out of it, it was Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu looked at it, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiu!" Junior, I don't know how to die, I spare your life during the day, I don't know how to cherish it, and I dare to come and attack my camp tonight, haha! General Ben has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Zhang Xiu was so frightened that he suddenly saw dozens of guards around Zhao Xu, holding out their sickle hook guns, stumbling horses in their hands, and tripping horse hooks ready to attack at any time, it was the "Condor Warrior" of Commander Dian Wei! Zhao Xu followed out four generals, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi, and Yu Ban on the left, and Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong on the right.
Wu Sandao, this reckless man, was not angry, saw Zhao Xu, immediately angry, and rushed up with a big knife, Zhou Cang, Wang Yong and the two generals immediately stepped forward to stop, Wu Sandao's martial arts were mediocre, only three moves, where to resist, was killed by Zhou Cang and Wang Yong, and the killed retreated again and again, and almost fell off the horse.
At this time, the north wind was too tight, but Zhang Xiu was full of enthusiasm. He was annoyed and hated, even if the camp failed, but he was surrounded and killed by the enemy, and ordinary people had to be annoyed. Zhang Xiu was furious and shouted: "Zhao Xu, you ......" and immediately took Zhao Xu with a gun.
Sure enough, the Condor Warrior next to Zhao Xu immediately threw out the sickle hook gun, and the sickle hook gun in the sky made Zhang Xiu have to stop and resist, and then the Condor Warrior threw the flying hook and stumbling rope in his hand, Zhang Xiu was shocked, and hurriedly controlled the horse to dodge, all the generals, the most afraid on the battlefield is to fall off the horse, if the martial arts are strong, it is okay, the ordinary general fell off the horse, and then what was waiting for him was only captured, Rao is Zhang Xiu's martial arts are strong, and he is also afraid of this move, he knows that once he falls off the horse, although he will not be captured by the soldiers, but he can have Zhao Yun opposite, Dian Wei and other fierce generals, even if there are three more Zhang Xiu, they will not escape the fate of being captured.
Zhao Xu laughed and shouted: "Zhang Xiu, since you like to fight so much, then we will accompany you to the end!" The Mighty Dragon Xuanjia Army, the Condor Warriors, and the White-Eared Soldiers, you are free to play! ”
Zhao Xu's words came out like a pile of dry firewood lit. As Zhao Xu's words fell, the Haolong Xuanjia Army behind him immediately raised his crossbow, and in such a short distance, there was no need to aim, and he shot at it, and in an instant, the crossbow arrows were like pouring rain, overwhelmingly attacking. For a while, the screams of the people who were shot, coupled with the neighing of arrows from the war horses, were intertwined and shook the heavens and the earth. Hundreds of cavalry, one by one, fell.
"Damn! Withdraw, withdraw! Zhang Xiu wants to take revenge, but where is the opportunity for revenge at this time, stay in Qingshan, not afraid of no firewood, Zhang Xiu also understands this truth, so he had to glared at Zhao Xu hatefully, pressed his anger, and struggled to pick out the crossbow arrows that were shot.
But that's not all! The Condor Warrior and the White-Eared Soldier had not yet played, and as soon as the rain of arrows passed, they only heard the sound of "whooshing" in the air, but when they saw the white guns flying from the sky, the sickle hook spear that was still inserted in the ground suddenly moved, and they all pulled back.
"Ahh What is this, help! ”
Then there was a scream, originally after a round of arrow rain, Zhang Xiu's group of people had been injured more than half, at this time there were some martial artists, but unfortunately, even if they could hide from the white guns in the world, they could not escape the sickle hook guns under their feet, and the rest of the soldiers were either stabbed to death by the flying spears of the white-eared soldiers, or they were cut off by the sickle hook guns on the ground, and they immediately fell off the horse, unable to parry, and were stabbed by the white guns.
Although Zhao Xu has been on the battlefield for a long time, he still can't bear to see these many soldiers die tragically in front of his eyes at this time. Alas! It is so meritorious to the world and conducive to reunification, but it still has to sacrifice the lives of these few people! Sure enough, everything is not perfect? No wonder, Sun Wu said that the soldiers who surrender without a fight are the highest level of using soldiers. Zhao Xu thought about it, and inadvertently his eyes were full of tears, but he just forcibly didn't let him cry.
Rao is Zhang Xiu is so martial arts, and he also made a fuss, but unfortunately the war horse under the seat was still shot, but fortunately he was not hit by the sickle gun, otherwise he Zhang Xiu would have died today and had no place to be buried. Before the aftermath passed, Zhang Xiu took the lead, and the tiger head drilled the golden spear and struggled to swing away the flying white spear, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, and rushed towards the Haolong Xuanjia army that blocked the Yuanmen. Fortunately, Zhao Xu's subordinates were merciful, and it was only the Haolong Xuanjia Army that was placed at the Yuanmen, although the Haolong Xuanjia Army was a fine cavalry, but at this time the cavalry stopped and lost its momentum, after all, it was difficult to exert all its strength; Otherwise, in arranging for the Condor Warrior to be here, by the way, let Dian Wei lead, facing the resistance of Dian Wei and the Condor Warrior, let alone him Zhang Xiu, even if Lu Bu is reborn, it will be difficult to rush out.
Although the Haolong Xuanjia Army is elite, it is difficult to stop a military general like Zhang Xiu after all, and other dead soldiers, where can Zhang Xiu have such ability, he was killed after rushing out a few steps, listening to the screams coming from behind him, Zhang Xiu's heart was like a knife cut, and there was a burst of colic.
Zhang Xiu fought to the death with a gun, finally opened a bloody road, went out of the gate, found the place where the thistle terrestris was destroyed on the way, and waited to jump over, but the horse under the seat was injured, and the horsepower suddenly decreased, Zhang Xiufei was in mid-air, seeing that the situation was not good, he inserted the gun into the ground, and finally jumped over the trench, rushed out of a few hundred steps, and turned back to see that there was no pursuer behind, so he took a breath. Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and hurriedly raised his gun and waited for it, but only saw Wu Hao running out with more than a dozen people with injuries and crawling. Wu Hao waited until he saw Zhang Xiu before he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately fell to the ground. Zhang Xiu looked straight and couldn't speak, and after a long time, he asked weakly: "We only have these people left?" ”
Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then shed tears of indisputability, and cried: "Plus the two of us, there are only these fourteen people left, we follow the road of General Zhang, you rushed to kill, and it was not easy to get rid of the death battle, fortunately, Zhao Xu did not kill and did not chase and kill, otherwise, we would ......"
Zhang Xiudeng's mind was blank, sure enough, did I still fail? Then he remembered something, his heart tightened, and he asked urgently: "General Wu, General Wu... But still? ”
"General Wu, General Wu, there are many arrows, the enemy army is strong, General Wu, he has died in the chaos!" Wu Hao said sadly.
If it weren't for Zhao Xu and his subordinates who came in a hurry, they were already exhausted at this time, how could they let Zhang Xiu and them escape, not to mention that Zhao Xu didn't intend to kill them, just give them a lesson, so that they don't dare to attack the camp again! It's good to have a good night's sleep, so that you can have energy!
"He, is he dead?" Zhang Xiu said in a daze. Although Wu Sandao has no friendship with him, and even has some festivals, but the people who dare to attack the camp today are all martyrs who are willing to give their lives.
"General Zhang, let's retreat!" Wu Hao looked in the direction of Zhao Xu's army camp in horror, as if there were countless pursuers coming, and said anxiously: "General Zhang, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" If Zhao Xu chases after us, we will have no place to die! General Zhang! ”
Before Zhang Xiu could answer, the ground suddenly shook, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts was heard not far away.
When everyone quieted down, they faintly heard the shouts clearly, only hearing hundreds of shouts, which were chaotic, but they still faintly heard shouting, "General Zhang, General Wu Hao, General Wu, where are you?" ”
